Chapter 74 Such a Big Commotion for a Birthday

Seeing that Yu Manwen had fallen silent, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and said, “Then I’ll take my leave first.”

“Wait, there’s something else. Order Master Zhang wanted me to tell you that he wants you to go find him when you have time.”

“Alright, got it.”

“Mm, there’s nothing else. You can go back now.”

“I’ll take my leave.”

After saying that, Jiang Beiran walked towards the Order of Blue Heart.

On the way, Jiang Beiran could not help but recall the system notification. He could now confirm that Shi Fenglan already had a very troublesome background. If he were to get involved, more troubles would definitely come looking for him. However, the soul baby fruit was too tempting, which was why Jiang Beiran did not flee. Even if there was a risk, he would be prepared. Currently, Jiang Beiran’s analysis revealed that Shi Fenglan had a powerful force behind her. At the same time, there was a high probability that she had a powerful protector by her side.

With these guesses, he made a few attempts, including changing Shi Fenglan’s bad habits, which were similar to guiding a rebellious girl.

Since this series of actions didn’t trigger the system option, it meant that these interactions with Shi Fenglan would not cause trouble to him.

There was a reason why he did all these. He thought that this “runaway daughter” had a really strong father. Her father might be so strong that the sect master of the Sect of Returning Hearts had to tolerate with her attitude in order to not offend her father. So, Jiang Beiran could do a favor for Shi Fenglan’s father by helping her daughter to get rid of her bad habits.

This way, even if he could not have a new backer, even if he really knew something that he should not know in the future, he would not directly resort to violence, right?

Jiang Beiran imagined Shi Fenglan’s various “strange backgrounds” and slowly walked back to the Order of Blue Heart.

It was already midnight, and the Order of Blue Heart had finally returned to its usual peace and tranquility. It made Jiang Beiran felt more comfortable when walking on the gravel road.

All the way to Zixi Garden, Jiang Beiran noticed that there was still candlelight flickering in the room of Order Master, so he knew that he shouldn’t be asleep yet.

Arriving at the gate of the courtyard, Jiang Beiran looked at Order Master Zhang, who was guarding the gate, and said, “Please inform Order Master that I, Jiang Beiran, would like to see him.”

Moman was an existence at the lowest level of the sect. They were like a brick in the sect. They would do any task in the sect. Most of them were just ordinary person. The Moman, who was guarding the gate, had seen Jiang Beiran before. He cupped his hands in return and said, “Please wait for a moment, Senior Brother Jiang. I will inform Order Master right away.”

After a short while, Moman ran back and bowed to Jiang Beiran, “Order Master will let you go in on your own.”

“Thank you.” Jiang Beiran cupped his hands to the Moman and walked into the courtyard. He stepped on three stone steps. Jiang Beiran was about to knock on the door when he heard Zhang Heqing’s voice from inside.

“No need to knock. Just come in.”

Therefore, Jiang Beiran retracted his right hand that was about to knock on the door. He pushed the door open and walked in. “Greetings, Order Master.”

“Beiran, it’s really not easy to see you now.”

Jiang Beiran heard the reproach in Order Master’s words. He stepped forward and bowed in response. “Order Master, since even you have misunderstood me, I can only tell the truth.”

“The truth?” Zhang Heqing, who was sitting behind the old Tong Wood Square table, raised his eyes and asked.

“In order to promote the cooperation between the Order of Blue Heart and the Order of Water Mirror, I also agreed to Order Master Shi’s condition, which is that I must help her take care of the flowers in her courtyard. That’s why

I…”

“Hahaha.” Before Jiang Beiran could finish his words, Zhang Heqing stood up from behind the table and said, “Look at you, I was just teasing you. Why are you so serious? I have seen all your efforts to our order.”

“Thank you for your understanding, Order Master.”

“You had worked hard. Come, let’s have some tea first.”

As Zhang Heqing spoke, he pulled Jiang Beiran towards the tea table. When Jiang Beiran sat down and raised his eyes, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.

“There are… more cups on the shelf…” Jiang Beiran was shocked in his heart.

Without looking at it for too long, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands towards Zhang Heqing and said, “When I came back this morning, I saw that the Order of Blue Heart was exceptionally lively. Order Master’s strategy of developing together is indeed very effective. I am impressed.”

Zhang Heqing, who was selecting tea leaves, was stunned at first before he laughed out loud in a heroic manner and said, “Of course, why do you think I am so desperate to ask you to help me?”

“Order Master is wise!”

“It’s good that you know my painstaking efforts. In the past few years, there have been fewer and fewer new disciples in the Order of Blue Heart. Our resources from the sec have decreased by a lot as well. I have been worrying about this matter every day. Fortunately, I have a genius like you to help me solve my problems. Don’t worry, I will not mistreat

you.”

“Thank you, Order Master!”

He placed the tip of the feather into the teapot, Zhang Heqing said as he heated up the water in the teapot, “Although it’s a good thing that the Order of Blue Heart is lively, there are also a lot of disputes that come along with it. Each and every one of them is young and impetuous, and they always want to compete in martial arts. It’s fine if they fight openly, but I’m afraid that they will secretly and cause a lot of troubles. Beiran, what do you think about this?”

“What else can I do? I can just lie down and watch.” Jiang Beiran thought.

Jiang Beiran had already expected what Zhang Heqing had said. It was natural for males to show off their beautiful feathers in front of females, and it was also natural for males to fight in order to find a mate. Right now, the hormones of the male disciples in the Order of Blue Heart Hall were almost off the charts. Male disciples with a little bit of strength would probably do irrational things to impress the girls.

However, since Order Master Zhang had already asked, Jiang Beiran could not just brush it off. Thus, he replied, “Since Order Master has such foresight, it’s better to limit the number of disciples who come to visit every day like the Order of Water Mirror. It’s best to set up another checkpoint and remember the names and the orders of the disciples who come to visit. That way, if anything really happens, we can optimize the investigation effort.”

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Zhang Heqing shook the teapot and smiled, “That makes sense. I’ll instruct someone to do it tomorrow.”

“Order Master called me back just for this matter?”

“Oh, this is only one of the reasons. There is still an important matter to tell you.” He poured some tea into the cup, Zhang Heqing continued, “The sect master of the Sect of Masked Moon recently came out of closed-door cultivation and successfully broke through to the mystic master. It also happened to coincide with his hundredth birthday, so he decided to hold a feast and invite all the people from the major sects of Fengzhou to participate.”

“Oh my god… mystic master. This is the key threshold to becoming a supreme expert. This time, the Sect of Masked Moon’s status will probably rise quite a bit.”

“I wonder how I can help?”

He handed the teacup to Jiang Beiran, Zhang Heqing replied, “It’s just showing off. Just holding a feast will definitely not satisfy them, so they also decided to hold another gathering of young heroes. After all, the fighting between veterans would cause too much commotion, so they let the younger ones fight. Moreover, they invited the major sects of Fengzhou to come together. When that time comes, it will definitely be extremely lively.”

Jiang Beiran was even more confused after hearing this. He was just a mere level five Qi cultivating stage disciple. Why would Order Master asked him to participate the competition?

Looking at Jiang Beiran’s inexplicable gaze, Zhang Heqing smiled and said, “I know what you’re thinking. The reason why I’m looking for you is because this year’s gathering of young heroes is not just a martial arts competition.”
